News Continental Cement penalised for violating Clean Air Act

Continental Cement penalised for violating Clean Air Act

Written by Global Cement staff 09 January 2025

US: Continental Cement Company will pay a US$74,440 civil penalty and spend at least US$282,000 to procure low-emission buses for a local school district as part of a settlement following alleged Clean Air Act violations. The replacement propane buses will reduce air pollution in areas impacted by excess emissions from Continental Cement’s operations.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it identified inadequate operation of leak detection systems during a December 2022 inspection, which are designed to notify the company of potential hazardous emissions. Without a functioning leak detection system, the facility would be unaware of whether pollutant filters are operating effectively to reduce emissions of particulate matter and other air pollutants.
